"Did you have lunch?" Gu Hangshen asked.
"I had cherries, ketchup, tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg soup, sugar mixed with tomatoes..." Gong Xiaoqiao listed.
"Doesn’t your stomach hurt?"
"It does feel a bit uncomfortable..."
Gu Hangshen opened the refrigerator and saw a cheerful expanse of red.
Thankfully, he had the foresight to bring some groceries when he came.
"Shall I cook for you?"
"There’s no need, I can handle it myself. Go back to what you were doing! I’m fine." Gong Xiaoqiao refused.
"Exactly! Little junior sister has my care! Stop worrying unnecessarily!" Jinmulin started showing him out.
Gu Hangshen didn’t argue, but instead changed his approach, "I haven’t eaten yet, may I borrow your kitchen? I’ve brought my own ingredients."
Gong Xiaoqiao scratched her head, feeling a bit troubled, "Well, okay then."
Jinmulin beat his chest in frustration, "This sly old fox! Little junior sister, don’t compromise so easily! You’re still too naive!"
Gong Xiaoqiao said indifferently, "If you stand upright, you need not fear a crooked shadow, I have no need to deliberately avoid him!"
Jinmulin immediately responded, "That’s true, but just because you’re upright doesn’t mean his shadow isn’t crooked!"
"Don’t bother me, I’m busy!" Gong Xiaoqiao continued her unfinished project.
Gu Hangshen naturally tied on Gong Xiaoqiao’s apron and busied himself in the kitchen; soon, the scent of food wafted out, making her feel even more ravenous as if all those tomatoes were but a digestif.
Once the food was ready, Gu Hangshen served it up.
Three dishes with one soup.
Each dish was fiery red, spicy and appetizing...
Gong Xiaoqiao couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last enjoyed spicy food. She used to love it, but later, the sight of red chili oil would make her feel nauseous.
Some people’s aversion to blood is minor, such as only reacting to the sight of blood or only their own blood, but Gong Xiaoqiao’s condition was a severe case of hemophobia, extending her repulsion to many red objects. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Hmm, it seems that Gu Hangshen really hadn’t cooked for her, else why would he make it so spicy?
But she remembered that Gu Hangshen couldn’t eat spicy food either, could he?
Was he, perhaps, cooking especially for her second senior brother?
Her second senior brother really did love spicy food!
The more Gong Xiaoqiao thought about it, the more her mind wandered...
"Would you like to come and eat some?" Gu Hangshen called out.
Before Gong Xiaoqiao could answer, Jinmulin had already plopped himself down at the table, "Haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony!"
Why pass up on a good deal!
Gong Xiaoqiao was speechless; she thought he would surely refuse, but didn’t expect him to be so shameless! She had overestimated him.
"Xiaoqiao, come over."
"To do what?"
"Aren’t you trying to overcome your fear of blood? You can watch us eat, or join us." Gu Hangshen suggested.
In the end, Gong Xiaoqiao decisively chose the latter.
As she savored the incredibly delicious food, Gong Xiaoqiao felt as if Gu Hangshen had a pair of snowy white wings flapping behind him.
Gu Hangshen had been too considerate to cook anything spicy for her before, but now it seemed a waste, as the dishes were truly delectable!
It had been so long since she had eaten with such gusto!
What excited her more was that the deliciousness made her forget her inner fear!
Even the picky Jinmulin expressed astonishment at Gu Hangshen’s culinary skills, and he also felt an increasing sense of crisis.
Gu Hangshen’s move was indeed a significant threat!
After eating, Gu Hangshen gathered them, "I have something to tell you both."
